He does have it on vibrate, but he puts it on the table next to him and it vibrates and skitters across the table, so he picks it up, looks at it, and fiddles with it.
He told me once that he had to be available in case his family called. But heck, his family knows where he works, they could call the main desk in a true emergency. And it is his only "office" phone so all his calls go there. I can see specific occasions where he might need to leave it on, but I think explaining that he needs to leave it on this session (without explaining why in particular) and a sincere sounding apology would be nice. I would never do such a thing. Not in my sessions with him, and not at my work either. Doesn't "hold my calls" indicate that you are placing the meeting you are in on a high level of importance? I thought of asking him how much I'd have to pay for his undivided attention sessions, but was afraid he'd name a price. :)
But you're right. They have been good sessions, apart from that ongoing annoyance.
Like I said, I have no idea why it's him. ;)
